Sabrett Onions in Sauce
Description
Thinly sliced onions are sautéed in olive oil until soft but not browned. A sauce is created by combining water, tomato paste, corn syrup for sweetness, cornstarch as a thickener, salt, and red pepper flakes for a gentle heat. This mixture is boiled and then simmered for a total of up to 90 minutes to reduce and thicken.
An addition of vinegar near the end introduces a tangy brightness that balances the sweetness and mild spice. The resulting sauce is thickened and flavorful, carrying the softened onions in a richly textured tomato-based sauce.
This sauce is suitable for using as a condiment or accompaniment to various dishes, providing a savory and slightly spicy onion flavor that complements many preparations. The long simmer ensures depth and concentration in taste.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 cups onion sliced thin and chopped
- 3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup vinegar
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the sliced onions in oil for 5 minutes, until the onions are soft but not brown.
- Add 3 cups of water, corn syrup, corn starch, tomato paste, salt, and pepper flakes and stir. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
